Inspired by the Pennsylvania woods, the Pocono Pine Beanie shows off a cabled tree motif to match the conifers of the Pocono Mountains. Warm enough to wear by the campfire, but light enough to take on a hike, this DK-weight cap is meant to tackle all seasons.

Construction:
A ribbed brim is folded under for an extra cozy wear, followed by successively decreasing cables to create the trees. Finally, simple decreases round out the cap for a slightly slouchy knit beanie. Finish with a pom-pom or leave as-is!
